Battle Creek Landfill

Big, no-frills county landfill just outside town that handles the heavy stuff most people can't take to the transfer station. Drivers, landscapers, and small haulers use it regularly, and commercial trucks show up alongside pickup trucks. The place is clearly built for volume rather than looks.

Drive up a short lane to a small gatehouse where vehicles stop to be directed; there’s a scale nearby so traffic will pause twice - once in and once out - since charging is by weight. The tipping area is an open, earth-covered pit with roll-off trucks and dump trailers coming and going; sightlines are long and there are plenty of dirt ramps and gravel pads. Recycling and drop-off options tend to be off to one side of the main working area, and the whole site feels like a working construction zone rather than a retail yard. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so the pace can range from quick to slow depending on the day.
